§ Mr. Byersasked the Secretary of State for War the reasons for the failure to derequisition Down House Cottage, Down House, Blandford, Dorset, which is now empty; and give a date on which this cottage will be free for housing purposes.
§ Mr. LawsonI am aware that the cottage is empty at present, but it is not possible to derequisition it as it is within the perimeter of existing camps which are still required. There is no entry to the cottage save through the camps. The camps are either in use for German prisoners of war or earmarked for Polish units.
